What's New at WMPG?

WMPG will again be hosting our renowned Fat Tuesday party. This will be the 22nd year that we celebrate Mardi Gras with our volunteers, listeners, USM and the greater Portland Community. It all happens on February 28, 2017 from noon to 3pm at the USM Woodbury Campus Center in Portland.

Wow – Thanks to everyone who made the 21st Annual Record Sale a huge success! The weather was perfect, the set-up and clean-up was the fastest ever. After deducting expenses, donations to WMPG from this event are $11,394. This is the most ever from the annual record sale. Thanks to everyone who donated records and CDs or helped work the event. It couldn’t have happened without all your help. The Friday night load-in was amazing! We had more than 30 people here and had the truck loaded in under an hour. Smoothest load-in ever! The clean-up was done in two hours! The sale was very well attended with 529 people paying to get in.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported WMPG at the Dispatch Halloween 5K and especially Dispatch Magazine for making this whole thing happen. Great costumes, weather and participation. Congratulations to Ryan McCalmon who took first place with a time of 16:20! Wow, WMPG’s Station Manager and Program Director clocked in at 52:50 and 54:16…we had a lot of fun though. Check out the video of the start of the race and we hope to partner up again next year with Dispatch Magazine to make this annual event even bigger!
